Anyone running airbags with an exhaust?
Is anyone running a set of air bags on the rear of their truck with a 4" exhaust? Any problems with the heat that close to the bags? I don't imagine it will be an issue, but the pipe is much closer to where the bags want to mount than a stock exhaust, so I thought I would ask before wasting any money.

Ive run the Firestone ones in both my trucks with the 4" and no problems
Back that far I dont think the exhaust is that hot even if it was very close but I have at least a 1.5-2" clearance so no worries. I cant imagine not having them in a truck now, there great!

No problems interference wise(Firestone Airbags) 4" exhaust on mine(I installed myself), they are nice having the adjustability when towing trailer, or load of wood, quad etc. They also give a nice ride when loaded, and keep backend level, then just slightly deflate when you have no load on it.

I'm not sure if the question was worded quite right I have Airlift bags and MBRP 4" exhaust systems on both of my trucks and can tell you that like the Ride Rites, the bags are outboard of the frame and nowhere near the exhaust which is inboard of the frame.....am I missing something here?

I had purchased a kit from a friend who is into lowriders, and the bags mounted inboards off the spring within 1" of the pipe. I took those back ("kit" was cheesy anyways) and purchased the Air Ride kit. They installed easily and work great.
